Thought Experiments

It is interesting to consider a national economy, and a personal economy, as iconic of our ionic political empowerment, and competitively anti-ionic disempowerment; so economic marginalization becomes an icon for political victimization and political opportunity for future WinWin healing. This way of seeing an iconic/ionic primal relationship within eco-politics might support an evolutionary historical view, which, if reversed in time, might take us back to an imaginary moment in each of our LeftBrain developments, when nutritional wealth was an iconic referent to a health-empowering referee, organic-ionic cooperativity as political integrity-flow of multiculturality. While I'm not sure exactly how all this cooperative iconic economics of political health investment balances out, my gut tells me if you make a common economic mistake of valuing one life (especially one's own) differently than another, for example the U.S. historical investments in Native Americans and African slaves as compared to White slave-owners and other farmers, then we have effectively de-valued all of humanity's overall cooperative-integrative health potential. We fall from history's cooperatively-intended syncretic grace; incarnate bad chi. When what is economic wealth-valued LeftBrain becomes what is also politically/personally health-valued RightBrain integrity, then we achieve MidWay ecopolitical abundance of flow, grace, chi.
